Masterfully Researched If Pessimistic Work.......2000-02-21

American visitors to Britain are frequently amazed at the vast numbers of black British citizens inhabiting those lands. Peter Fryer does a splendid job of tracing their history from the days of Roman conquest up until the present day. This book is written in substantial part as commentary, in an easy, accesable style. Unfortunately, and perhaps indicative of a liberal paternalistic bent, Fryer never views the history of black Britons as anything but troubled and strife filled. Though it is clear that the British held a complicit and major role in the transatlantic slave trade, Fryer is unwilling to laud or commend the treatment of black people living in Britain during this period. There is a glaring omission in his failure to juxtapose the treatment and application of justice endured by black people living in the Americas with those living in Britain during the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries. In the concluding chapter Fryer continues to dwell on the plight of contemporary black Britons rather than highlighting their sucesses; no mention for instance of a growing and thriving black middle class or increasing numbers in the higher professions. But these are really incidental criticisms, since Fryer's book never fails to inform, educate and even entertain the reader on the subject, and on that basis it must be recommended.

Every young woman should buy this book for herself and then buy more copies as precious gifts to her Mom, girlfriends, and sisters. Cheryl, you will lower the divorce rate with your book.

I love you. Sandy Conard

Dear Dr. Cheryl,

Thank you for your honesty and writing straight from your heart. Yours is the only relationship book that is fun and filled with wisdom for all of us. I now know I am powerful enough to do anything!---Even things I used to be insecure or too depressed to do. You have taught me how to get my "Wild Women Vitality" back. I will always be grateful for your humor and love for us readers.

Your biggest fan,

As a young guy in college I shake my head sometimes at all the bad relationships I see (if your one of those girls I see outside my dorm room at 3:00am crying on the phone with your boyfriend- buy this book!!). I gotta say after a sorority girlfriend of mine made me read the first few chapters after hearing me gripe about how come a nice guy like me couldn't find a girlfriend but every jerk from here to Kalamazoo seemed to have a girl clinging to him, my outlook on college dating really picked up. Turns out that all the bad reasons I saw girls going out with morons was because of what Dr. McClary calls "Surreal Love", and so she teaches girls how to find "Real Love" through learning to love themselves. So nice guys don't count ourselves out yet cause our Real Love is the best, and Dr. McClary is helping girls to figure that out.

This book is a gem in the genre of "purposeful living" books. Well-written, inspirational, and instructive, it helps a person see that he or she can indeed make a signicant difference. It is full of examples of the contributions people have made by applying principles from the Bible on a consistent basis. There are also many appropriate quotes that highlight the principles being presented. For example, Charles Haddon Spurgeon on persistence..."By perseverance the snail reached the ark." A good deal of the book is devoted to the success process they observed from various Scriptures. The three step process: A) Start B) Hit Problems C) Experience Victory. This book is full of inspirational guidance. I gladly give it my highest rating.

Flower Staying Power.......2005-03-29

I loved this book!! I really like cut flowers, but get discouraged when they die after a day or two. I've used some of the techniques cited in the book and my flowers last a lot longer. I've even tried drying one of my arrangements and it looks great. The table "101 of the Best Cut Flowers" is amazing and very useful. It tells you what the vase life for each flower is and how to prepare it. It's just awesome!

understanding myself.......2007-05-01

After reading Stepping Out of the Bubble a year ago, I went back and read it again for a second time. I was able to pick up even more information this time around that helped me understand and overcome some of my own internal conflicts. This is a book you can read at any point in your life and always find information that pertains to that particular moment. Krehbiel has a way of explaining things that others may consider unexplainable. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or just a guy like me, this book can and will change your life.

A practical resource for better living.......2006-03-27

For me, "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" was reminiscent of the renowned books of author, M. Scott Peck, in the style of presenting profound insights into sensible, easy-to-understand language and clear ideas an average person can relate to. Practicing Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist and author of "Stepping Out Of The Bubble", James Krehbiel proficiently shares a portion of his expertise, condensing great weight into accessible and workable solutions for a more fulfilling life's plan.

The "bubble" represents our security and comfort zone, but it is also the inner place where we store the pain of our past experiences and the unpleasant reality of that not being made conscious which keeps us bound in unhealthy and self-defeating patterns. Staying within this bubble limits our emotional responsiveness as we numb ourselves to the coexistence even as unresolved issues unconsciously filter forth. To step outside of the bubble is to courageously examine the contents in all honesty and to face life's reality outside of the bubble. Once outside the bubble, one can move forward to experience life in more emotional depth, fullness and passion. "Being a fully functioning individual is about being true to whom you are and letting things be the way they are," explains author, James Krehbiel.

With brilliant and compassionate understanding, Mr. Krehbiel briefly details methods used and pertinent case examples within his therapy practice. "Self-regulation is a goal of therapy. I educate people in the fact that all the answers are ultimately within." "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" strives to do the same, by giving information on how we become trapped in the bubble and how beneficial the making of conscious choices to leave, can be.

Some of the many topics included within this book are: being assertive, characteristics of an "authentic" person, the integration of each of our different personality parts, the difference between true guilt and false guilt, setting boundaries, addictions and addictions to "manic" relationships, awareness (staying in the moment or mindfulness), grounding, honoring one's inner voice, panic attacks, OCD and mood disorders. The section regarding kids and parenting was exceptional, in my opinion, and I found many points about discipline that made much sense. Also appreciated was the section relating to religion (dogma) versus faith (spiritual) as well as what needed to be said about pop culture.

I enjoyed reading "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" and would recommend it to anyone. It is enriching and inspirational.

Reviewed -by C.Gale Perkins-author.......2006-03-18

Stepping Out Of The Bubble by James P. Krehbiel, Is an outstanding book on Counseling Therapy. Krehbiel, is able to put life patterns and fears into perspective so that the lay person can fully understand the mystery that most think is behind counseling. His approach to show that so much of what we seek answers for is within ourselves and with the right counsellor we can become free and step out of the Bubble or Bubbles that a lot of us are in.

This book should be a gift to every teen and their parents, no home should be without it.

Gaining Courage to Live Outside of the Bubble.......2006-02-25

James P. Krehbiel's Stepping Out of the Bubble was a fascinating read. I found myself underlining various passages. His explanation of how we get stuck in the bubble (comfort zone), and how we find our way out is powerful. It provided me with hope as I move through my own personal journey. I found myself experiencing an emotional reaction to many of the case examples and concepts he explored. He definitely hit some "hot buttons" in my life. But Mr. Krehbiel also provided specific guidelines and tools for stepping out of the bubble. At one point he says, "Courage can be defined by those who live outside the bubble as opposed to those who live in it. I like to compare stepping out of the bubble to wading into the water."

His chapter which includes ideas on multidimensional thinking is appropriate in today's political climate. He indicates that true dialogue takes into consideration the appreciation for differences in opinions. He makes some profound statements about pop culture's affect on the lives of today's children. He also gives parents tools and resources for assisting their children in bettering their behavior. The book ends with a resounding "yes" to life with a hopeful, powerful way of perceiving and reframing life's problems. This was an excellent book!

My Review of a Great Book.......2006-02-23

"Stepping Out of the Bubble : Reflections On the Pilgrimage of Counseling Therapy by James P. Krehbiel is an amazing and outstanding book that provides help and direction to the many people that are suffering from problems described in this book.

I was amazed at how many of the problems and challenges, that the author writes about, are problems and challenges I have seen many people suffer with.

The counseling theory and practice information in this book provides a direction for people that have a problem and are willing to go to counseling and risk moving forward in their journey toward finding personal growth and development, and eventually stepping out of the bubble.

Many people have problems and challenges that they never seek help for and they and their loved ones continue to suffer. This book goes a long way in bringing the thought of counseling to people and helping people to better understand the counseling process.

To author James P. Krehbiel thank you for writing your great book. I am convinced your book will help many people and because of your book many more people will step out of the bubble. I recommend this book very highly and also feel it would be a great college text.

Staying Power is written for senior level executives yet has nuggets for managers at all levels. Book was a smooth and easy read. It is broken down into 3 sections: 1) Career Pathing, 2) Personality and 3) Management Style. Lot's of excellent examples and career "rules." Thumbs up.

Success Lessons Not Found in a Text Book.......2003-11-27

Staying Power is a must read for anyone who plans to acheve success. As a high school marketing teacher, I have applied many conecpts to my own life and shared them with my students.The book brings some very important "success-based" concepts that are not normaly taught, unless by the "school of hard knocks." The book is easy to read, unlike most books of its kind. I highly recomend it.

A Timely Book for Trying Times.......2003-05-03

This is a great book. Have you ever wondered why some colleagues carreers seem to be blessed. They seemingly can do no wrong. They seem to have spectacular rises. Moving from one promotion to the next, seemingly effortlessly. When they do encounter obstacles and setbacks or seem stymied, they some how mangage to sidestep it or often it turns to their advantage. These executives seem invincible. Is it just dumb luck or is there something at work here? Tom Schweich has some answers. Continuing in vein of his earlier books Tom has taken things a step further. He has gone out and interviewed some of the most successful people of our time and distilled the essence of their successes. Like his other books though he has plenty of war stories from mainstream business world. What I liek about htis book, though is that it does go outside the corporate world. He interview some exotics. There are rock divas and politicians. It's great reading, enjoyable, and written in a clear organised style that you may be familiar with in his previous books. You don't need to be an executive to enjoy and benefit form this book. There are enough universal principles expounded for anyone.
A very timely book for the difficult economic times we're headed into.

Incidentally don't pay attention to the 1 star review. It's about nursing book....

Learn from the master.......2005-09-11

This is an excellent primer for the uses of guided imagery, and includes numerous scripts. Naparstek was the leader in popularizing guided imagery, and if you are familiar with her CD's, you already know how gifted she is in crafting a script, and delivering it. As a health counselor, I use guided imagery to access the power of the right side of the brain, and the subconscious. This book should be on the shelf of anyone who is using guided imagery in their work, or for those who want to better understand its many uses.

Excellent Resource.......2003-09-17

I really liked this book. I found it helpful for my therapy practice with both adolescents and adults. The scripts for imagery were helpful and I use them in sessions. Information and background are shared in straight forward, easy to read terms. I have shared Naparstek's theories with clients as part of their treatment, and we have seen success. With a concrete, more pragmatic client however, these techniques are more difficult to use.

An excellent guide!.......2002-07-04

If I had to just rely on one book to assist me with relaxing my patients as they come through Radiology, this would be it. I've used the meditations in it and the explanations about how imagery works to help create a healing mind state in my patients, and transform anxiety and fear. It works!!

JUST THE INFORMATION I NEEDED!!!!!.......2002-06-29

I'm relatively new to mind-body health techniques, but this book taught me exactly what I was looking to learn. I've been struggling with several chronic health issues, and I started using Naparstek's Fibromyalgia tape first, found it very helpful, and then wanted to learn more about what it was doing and how it worked. This book was a great complement. I'm a nurse myself, so I know a lot about the traditional side of medicine. This book made a lot of sense to me and provided extra encouragement to continue with my meditation and guided imagery tools.

FILLS IN THE BLANKS!.......2002-05-25

I have used many of this woman's audio programs. They are the best around, and have done me a world of good on many fronts. This book explains a lot about why they are so good, and gives a nice feel for the theory and methods she uses. I found reading it very helpful and inspiring, too. You realize what's behind those meditations.

Book Description

If you are trying to bring change to a church, read this book first. This book shows you how to keep a church from splitting over change.

Utilizing the latest management research, Staying Power is filled with examples of actual congregations that are remaining unified as they change.

Bob Whitesel explains in a humorous and effective manner, accompanied by easy to understand graphs, how churches progress down the route toward change, but usually become divided. The author demonstrates how changing two "key" factors will allow a church to unify those pushing for change and those who see it their duty to preserve tradition.
